Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
Title: Guidance for the Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) Program.
OMB No.: 0970-0157.
Description: 42 U.S.C. 612 (Section 412 of the Social Security Act)
requires each Indian Tribe that elects to administer and operate a TANF
program to submit a TANF Tribal Plan. The TANF Tribal Plan is a
mandatory statement submitted to the Secretary by the Indian Tribe,
which consists of an outline of how the Indian Tribe's TANF program
will be administered and operated. It is used by the Secretary to
determine whether the plan is approvable and to determine that the
Indian Tribe is eligible to receive a TANF assistance grant. It is also
made available to the public.
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing to
revise the guidance by adding a certification page and is requesting
additional details regarding economic development. ACF expects the
additional information to add an estimated eight burden hours to each
Indian Tribe's submission. This is reflected in the annual burden
estimates shown below.
Respondents: Indian Tribes applying to operate a TANF program.
